Have you ever really thought about it? Those social
butterflies that flit, fly and flirt hopping from one flower to another, whose
delicate and alluring patterns both attract others and camouflage themselves.
Have you ever thought about where they come from?
The natural
state of things works as follows. A larva, a caterpillar, whose time is mostly
spent searching for food, then finds itself in search of the perfect place to
form a chrysalis. Usually on the underside of a leaf, it will transform into an
immovable form. After a time, an incredible metamorphosis has occurred and what
once was a leaf-eating caterpillar has become an alluring butterfly.
Perhaps us
mere humans need something similar. We need to stay in solitude, in the
underside of our leaves for a time. We need to build an immovable form around
us to grow wings and form our own patterns. We’re also part of nature after all
and we cannot escape its demands.
All that is
to say, that perhaps a successful social butterfly comes from someone who
occasionally spends some time alone. Who creates a chrysalis and within that transforms
into the creature they want to be.
